An aquarium is filled with liquid. A cork cube 10cm on each side, is pushed and held at rest completely submerged in the liquid. It takes 7.84 N to hold it under the liquid. If the density of the cork is 200 kg/m^3, find the density of the liquid.

As shown in the figure below, a wooden cube measuring 20.0 cm oneach side floats in water with 80.0% of its volume submerged.Suspended by a string below the wooden cube is a metal cube. Themetal cube measures 10.0 cm on each side and has a specific gravityof 6.00. This means that the density of the cube is 6.00 timeslarger than that of water, which we take to be 1000 kg/m3.

(a) Which cube has a larger buoyant force acting on it?

i. the wooden cube

ii. the metal cube

iii. the buoyant forces are equal for both

(b) Taking the density of water to be 1000 kg/m3,what is the density of the wooden cube? (kg/m3)

(c) What is the tension in the string between the cubes? Assumethe string itself has negligible mass and volume. Use g =9.8 m/s2. (N)

(d) The pair of blocks is now placed in a different liquid. Whenthe blocks are at equilibrium in this new liquid, the buoyant forceacting on the wooden cube is exactly the same as the buoyant forceacting on the metal cube. What is the density of this new liquid?(kg/m3)

Two identical vertical tubes, each 1.00 cm in diameter and 50.0 cmtall, are each filled with a liquid. The liquid in tube #1 hasdensity 1500 kg/m^3, whereas the liquid in tube #2 has density 2000kg/m^3. The top of each tube is exposed to the air.

The pressure in the air above the two tubes is now increased from1.00 atm to 2.00 atm. In which tube does this cause the greatestpressure increase at the bottom of the tube?

A cube, one cm on an edge, is filled with pure water. As measured in a reference frame at rest relative to the side, the density of the water is exactly 1000.0 kg/m^3. The cube is now accelerated to a constant speed of .958c. What is the density of the water in the moving cube as measured in the same reference frame?
